public class CachedField
extends MetaProperty
```
Caches reflection information about a single field for efficient access and modification.

- Constructor Detail
  - public CachedField(Field field)
    
    Constructs a CachedField for the given Java field.
    Parameters:
    field - the field to cache reflection information for
- Method Detail
  - public MethodHandle asAccessMethod(Lookup lookup)
    
    Creates a method handle that provides getter access to this field via MethodHandles API. Attempts to unreflect the field, automatically making it accessible if needed.
    throws:
    IllegalAccessException if the field cannot be accessed even with accessibility adjustments
    
    Parameters:
    lookup - the method handles lookup context
    Returns:
    a method handle providing getter access to this field
  - public Field getCachedField()
    
    Returns the underlying Java Field object, making it accessible if necessary.
    Returns:
    the cached field with accessibility ensured
  - public Class getDeclaringClass()
    
    Returns the class that declares this field.
    Returns:
    the declaring class
  - public int getModifiers()
    
    * Returns the access modifiers. * *
    Returns:
    Modifier.PUBLIC
  - public Object getProperty(Object object)
    
    *
    throws:
    RuntimeException if the property could not be evaluated
    
    Returns:
    the property of the given object *
  - public boolean isAnnotationPresent(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)
    
    Checks whether the underlying field has the specified annotation. Unlike getCachedField(), this does not trigger accessibility changes.
    Since:
    6.0.0
  - public void setProperty(Object object, Object newValue)
    
    * Sets the property on the given object to the new value. * *
    throws:
    RuntimeException if the property could not be set
    
    Parameters:
    object - on which to set the property *
    newValue - the new value of the property *
